Non-insulin injectable medication (incretin mimetics)
When buying travel insurance I’m on a non insulin injection when it asks if I’m on insulin should I say yes as I’m injecting or no as it’s not insulin. I would not want to invalidate the insurance by putting the wrong answer.

What is it you're injecting? does it lower your BGS?
 
Byetta Exenatide injection twice a day and Dapagliflozin tablet once a day. It does lower my BPS.
 
You aren't on insulin, so no need to say you are.

Can you just list the meds you take and leave it to them to decide what to do?
 
If its possible you might hypo I would say you are as these things are not straightforward and I've not seen any that you can list medications on @Bluetit1802, not that they would know what they were anyway.
 
This is an interesting topic for me as I’m now on non insulin injections and have travel insurance already. There’s no risk of hypos so I should be ok I guess

They usually ask for all conditions and medications.
